City of Sin: Thirty taxation

The mayor ’s face was bitter for a while, and said, "The guards are almost dead. Those who are not dead ... I see that many are already standing in your team, so there will be no more offensive here. Your people. "

"I hope so." Richard nodded and waved his hand in front of him, saying: "We came from Foreign Plane, but it is not a killing and destroying Devil. Don't be deceived by the weak courageous god, We also have Gods standing behind us, and it is more powerful! Quicksand! "

Quick sand came forward, opened the Book of Time in his hand, and a Divine Spell blessing fell on the mayor of the old town. The mayor was shocked, and the townspeople clearly saw a brilliant light fall on the mayor. That ray of light is extremely bright, bright and warm. Although it has the vicissitudes of time flowing, it is also full of vitality. It shows that the True God camp is not dark and evil. Blessing is only a simple auxiliary Divine Spell, and it is not the core of Divine Spell system like various treatments or curses. But in the low-order Divine Spell, its light and shadow effect is the most eye-catching and brilliant.

Seeing the effect of Divine Spell with his own eyes, the townspeople immediately became commotion.

Richard seized the moment and said aloud: "The purpose of our arrival is to follow the guidance and glory of True God! So from now on, the town of Jovan is my territory. I, Richard Archeron, is here and your lord, Sir Gregory All industries here with Fossa Baron are accepted by me. "

As soon as the Richard declaration came out, the townspeople relaxed. The battles between nobles often occur, and most of them are citizen, which lives in the locals for generations, and a small number are free people with craftsmanship. No matter who comes to be the lord, they are all citizen, and life will not change much, just pay more tax and less. However, a few battles before and after, many Warrior died under Richard, especially those militiamen, their relatives are basically locals, naturally hate Richard. This kind of hatred constituted by blood feuds is very difficult to resolve. Richard is very clear, he does not want to resolve it. The matter in front of him, as long as they are used to deter them with fear.

The mayor asked a key question: "Master Richard, are you planning to permanently turn this place into your territory?"

Richard glanced at the mayor of the old town and said meaningfully: "Of course! But I have another station and I will leave soon. When I am not here, it is up to you to do what I do. When I come back At that time, just do n’t let me down. Now, pay all the taxes that you originally had to give to Gaoyue! ”

The mayor grimaced, and wanted to explain a few sentences that have not yet reached the traditional tax collection time. A sharp shout suddenly sounded among the town people behind him: "You Foreign Plane Demon, get out of our world!"

A teenage boy screamed and waved his dagger from some place and rushed to Richard!

"Children, come back!" The teenager followed a middle-aged strong man with a strong body and dark skin showing strength. He wanted to stop the boy, but he was one step late.

"For the God of Courage!" the young boy loud shout jumped up and pounced on Richard!

However, his body suddenly lost power in the air, and he fell to the ground halfway, twitching a few times, and stopped moving. From the position of his back heart, a thin wound appeared slowly, and blood was slowly pouring out of the wound, staining the clothes on his back.

Shuihua stood in the same place, it seems that she has never moved, but Shepherd of Eternal Rest does not know when to shed the sheath. At this moment, a drop of blood is dripping from the tip of the knife. In addition, the blade is clean and seems to have just been polished. No trace of it.

"Son! I fight with you!" The brawny both eyes was covered with bloodshot eyes, wielding huge fists, and strode towards Richard!

The girl seemed to move again, and then there was another drop of blood on the Shepherd of Eternal Rest blade that had been cleaned.

The big man struggled and took two further steps before he fell to the mayor's feet. The blood soon soaked the sole of the mayor's boots.

Richard did n’t seem to see the two newly added corpses, but just said to the mayor lightly, “Did you see it? I never threatened with hollowness, and my patience and dignity were not provocative. I just followed the tradition of nobility Do things, but if you do n’t want to be my citizen, and you must be my enemy, you are forcing me to become Devil. Devil does not need citizen. "

"I see. Adult, please wait, I will give you the tax payable in the next quarter." The mayor grinned and walked back to his small building.

A moment later, Richard left Jovan ’s next season ’s taxes: one hundred gold coins, two Demon Beast furs, and two boxes of books, and left the town. These two boxes of books are all the books that can be found in the town of Jovan, and they are available in various types. They are worth the tax of three hundred gold coins. In the opinion of the mayor, it is a good thing that these books, which are worth only a dozen or twenty gold coins, can charge up to three hundred gold coins.

Thirty descended soldiers also followed him. During the entire tax collection process, they received even more attention than Richard. Almost every soldier who descended in Jovan had familiar people. After all, the territory was so large. For decades, the citizen affiliated with the territory had formed an intricate relationship.

The **** soldiers with blood on their hands have no retreat and have to follow Richard to continue fighting. Compared with those townsmen who dare to rush to Richard, they have extinguished their will to resist. Seeing the descendants of Ogre and Swift Beast, I know that all the resistance is futile.

It was not until noon the next day that the Baron reinforcements arrived at Jovan town. This is an army of hundreds of people. The size of the army is far more than that of Sir Min Thai. However, the army is led by only three Sealed Knights, and there are only a dozen veterans exceeding Level 5 in the army. It can be said that the fighting strength of this army piled up by the number is actually far less than the one that Mintai was destroyed, which is also less than 20 kilometers away, but they have gone for a whole day.

Baron has already dispatched more than half of the army in the field. It should be led by a jazz, but when Gao Yue disappeared and the news of the death of Mintai and Huber returned, the remaining two jazz suddenly fell ill. He couldn't even get out of the bed, and naturally he couldn't come out to take the soldiers and bump. Baron is already over fifty years old. Level 8's combat power is a High Level cannon fodder on the battlefield, and it is even less likely to come out to lead the army. So in the end, the three Sealed Knights that usually offended more people were pushed to the frontline.

After the outpost team repeatedly confirmed that the invaders had left the town of Jovan, the army rumbling into the town and reacquired the territory.

After figuring out what Richard has done here, the three Sealed Knights were furious and found the mayor and the townspeople suspected of colluding with the intruder. After whipping, arresting and threatening, the Sealed Knights received a tax twice as much as that charged by Richard in order to prove the innocence of Jovan Town and return to Barony. Of course, in front of them, there can be no such thing as borrowing books to cover tax.

The slightly wealthier residents of the town were ransacked as long as they could not raise enough powerful relatives to support the mountains.

At the same time, more than half of the adventurers who are still stranded in the town of Jovan have been arrested. These dozens of adventurers are regarded as accomplices in assisting the invaders in combat. In the process of catching adventurers, some armed conflicts naturally occurred and several people died. But in the face of a regular army with an absolute number of superiors, the adventurous adventurers eventually escaped only a few.

In the eyes of the three Sealed Knights, the adventurers of unknown origin are neither citizen, nor the free people, and they are killed if they are killed. It is the best target for military merit. Who can guarantee that they are not intruders? What about the passers-by?

As for the town of Jovan, that is the territory of Sir Koyo. Now not only is Koyo missing, even his wife and children have been looted by the invaders. It would be a long and complicated struggle to find another heir to Jazz's side blood relatives, and even Fossa Baron could find some reason to take back this land. In this case, the town of Jovan is a piece of unowned meat. Anyone can come and bite it. Anyway, it is not their territory. Naturally, there is no heartache. As for the so-called collected taxes, most of it will enter the pockets of Sealed Knight and several leading officers as military pay for this operation, and a small amount will be paid to Baron.

The town of Jovan, which has been completely looted, is now a problem for the townspeople even how to spend this winter. Their main income comes from adventurers, mercenaries, travellers and caravans, and after this storm, adventurers will not come to Barony in a short time. But who cares about the life and death of the three Sealed Knight? It's not their territory, it's the responsibility of Sir Goyo who is missing.

Everything that happened is as expected by Richard.
